Chinese Shu Pu'er tea 2018 "Manzhuan" brand "Chawanzhai" from the "Jindian" factory
Shu Pu'er 2018 "Manzhuan" (Chinese: 蛮砖, pinyin: mánzhuān) (Tea from the Manzhuan Mountains) from the Chawanzhai (茶王寨, chá wáng zhài) brand of the Jin Dian tea factory (普洱市金典茶叶有限公司, pǔ'ěr shì jīn diǎn cháyè yǒuxiàn gōngsī, "Jin Dian Tea Company, Pu'er City, LLC") is a striking example of high-quality pu'er that combines the traditions of one of the most famous tea regions in China and modern production technologies.
About the Jinjian plant and the Chawanzhai brand
The Jin Dian factory was founded in 2007, and its name translates as "Golden Canon" or "Golden Classic," emphasizing the company's commitment to producing the highest quality tea. The Chawanzhai (or Tea King Village) brand is also owned by the factory and symbolizes the continuity of tea traditions.
Features of the Manchurian region
Manchurian is one of the "Six Great Tea Mountains of Yunnan" (六大茶山, liùdà cháshān), historically considered the cradle of pu'er tea. This region is renowned for its ancient tea trees, favorable climate, and unique soils, which impart a unique flavor and aroma to the tea.
Characteristics of tea
Raw materials and production technology
The 2018 Manzhuan tea is produced from Da Ye Zhong (大叶种, dàyězhǒng, "large leaf") tea leaves using the Shai Qing Maocha (晒青毛茶, shài qīng máochá) production method. Production complies with the Chinese national standard GB/T 22111-2008, which regulates the quality of pu-erh tea, including requirements for raw materials, processing stages, and finished product parameters.
Appearance
The tea leaves are dark brown with golden tips. The leaves are evenly fermented, indicating high-quality processing.
Aroma
Dry tea has a deep, rich aroma with underlying woody and sweet notes. After brewing, the aroma unfolds, adding hints of vegetable and stewed notes, characteristic of high-quality Shu Pu-erh.
Taste
The flavor of Manchuan tea is classic, woody, and smooth. The infusion has a rich, dark brown color. The taste is dominated by warm notes of wood, light sweetness, and vegetable undertones. The aftertaste is viscous, reminiscent of cold lozenges, adding to the tea's unique character.
Energy and Impact
Shu Pu'er "Manchuan" has a warming effect and promotes relaxation. This tea is ideal for the cold season and for those who appreciate a calm and meditative tea experience.
Brewing recommendations
For brewing Manchuan Shu Pu'er, we recommend steeping in a gaiwan or Yixing clay teapot. The water temperature should be around 95–100°C. The initial steeps should be short (5–10 seconds) to reveal the aroma and avoid excessive bitterness. Gradually, the steeping time can be increased. The tea can withstand up to 8–10 steeps, each of which reveals new facets of flavor.
The 2018 Shu Pu'er Manzhuang from the Chawanzhai brand of the Jin Dian factory is a tea that combines a rich flavor, deep aroma, and abundant energy. Its origins in the Manzhuang region and strict adherence to production standards make it a true treasure for pu'er connoisseurs. This tea will offer unforgettable moments of pleasure and allow you to connect with the ancient traditions of Chinese tea art.
If you're looking for a tea that will surprise you with its versatility and provide warmth and comfort, Shu Pu'er "Manzhuan" 2018 is an excellent choice.

Pu-erh is one of the most unique types of tea, which only gets better with age. Many people, when they first encounter this tea, wondered: why is pu-erh more often found in pressed form (cakes, bricks, tochas), and not in loose form? The reasons for this are related to both history and the practical aspects of storing and fermenting tea. Despite modern technologies that allow the production of loose pu-erh, the shape of pressed cakes remains unchanged. And pu-erh is more often found on sale in pressed form, for example, in the form of cakes or bricks, and loose pu-erh is less common. We will talk about the reasons for pressing pu-erh into cakes in this article.
Puer is a unique Chinese tea that is distinguished by its depth of taste, complexity of aromas and versatility of aftertaste. Its taste characteristics are formed under the influence of many factors, from growing conditions to the brewing method. Let's look at the main ones.
Traveling through the tea mountains, we found ourselves in another land of blue roofs - the village of Zhongcai, which is located in the Menghai district of Yunnan province. According to tradition, we were shown another local tea tree, which, according to the Chinese, is at least a million years old :) The village is very authentic, not designed for tourists, there are many wild pu-erhs there and, of course, we were warmly received. They treated us to local cuisine and tea. We also asked the residents about the prices of tea and how they have changed in recent years.
The tea ceremony holds a special place in the centuries-old Eastern tradition. While its essence remains constant, the nature and external manifestations of the tea ceremony vary among different cultures. Each Chinese province has its own distinct tea ceremony and tea used: for example, residents of the southern provinces prefer green tea, while those in the northern provinces prefer red tea. Oolong tea is more commonly used in Fujian Province, while Pu'er tea is widely known in Yunnan Province.
